Basketball Bouncing Elsewhere

May 20, 1986|By Larry Greene

The Continental Basketball Association's Kansas City, Mo., franchise has moved to Topeka, Kan. The Sizzlers averaged 2,646 spectators per game last year. In Topeka, the Sizzlers will play in the new 9,000-seat Kansas Expo Center, scheduled to open in March 1987. The team will play at Washburn College until the arena is completed. Another on the move: The Baltimore Lightning will move to either Fresno, Calif., Rockford, Ill., or Tucson, Ariz.
